  1. I knew I was right before, but thanks for the confirmation.
  2. I'm actually OK with this. The smart disruptive play is for MAGAts to vote Sanders in the Dem primaries, making it less likely that Warren can knock him out early and claim the progressive lane like she needs to, in order to go after the enduring centrist lane.
  3. On the one hand, yeah, on the other, maybe Epstein is still around if he'd been where the Pentaverate couldn't easily get to him.
  4. There are known knowns, known unknowns, but the worst are the unknown unknowns. We're dealing with the unknown unknowns, and that just scares you to death.
  5. Can’t blame him there. Dogs probably hate him. Dogs know.
  6. That’s not how this works. The sound byte blasted into every home/on everyone’s Facebook feed is “we’re raising taxes.” You can say the words. Just like you can’t say “I was before X before I was against it” or any other phrase that requires any kind of explanation. Voters suck at their job, and the opposition is dangerous when you give them the easy use of magic words. Costs will go down is all you say. Period.
  7. You need to look unto the money situation w/r/t firing Shaka. His idiotic contract and it not being football makes him safe.
  8. He gets the standard opportunity to fire a coordinator, but I don’t think CDC lets mediocrity linger more than through next year.

  10. Sure, call me a centrist and that sinking feeling you know I’m right will be gone ... for a while. I could spend time educating you, but unlike Mrs. W’s friend you don’t seem aware of your obvious short-comings.
  11. I think you did. Campaigns must reach people as they are, not as we wish they were. They aren’t remedial educational courses, they’re the process by which you take power. Dems must learn that 1. anything goes and 2. much of what your heart tells you is idiotically stupid in this context. You win by being ruthless and smart. Warren has that look. Bernie does not.
  12. Democrats who run for high office saying taxes will go up will have no cards to fold. Lying is the way to go. Low info voters buy bullshit. THAT is why Trump won. Also why Obama won, W, Slick ... It never ceases to amaze me that people who follow the circus year ‘round don’t understand the basic gags that keep ‘em coming.
  13. If she runs a third-party campaign we have our answer. The Jill Stein we’d hate to see go, but enjoy watching leave.
  14. I can't speak for the Methodists, but there was a time when a bunch of Episcopalians wanted to push us towards evangelical shitheadism. Fortunately most of the frozen chosen said "no thank you" and they just left the church. Of course, the ECUSA continues to lose membership at a steady rate.
  15. You’re right, no issue can be addressed unless we address all of them at once.
  16. Thank you Cory
  17. Beto needs to come home and rebuild the state party.
  18. Harris doesn’t do the man on the street anecdote well.
  19. Starting to sound weepy. Not the look you need.
  20. Yeah, I wanted her to be likable, but she’s just not.
  21. Pete thinks this is still Dem, Inc. The party is about free stuff now, get with it.
  22. Biden’s not up to this. He’s 6 months from full Corso embarrassing.
  23. This “bring jobs back“ question is stupid.
